A member asked:
Total exhusstion is from weeks of over working, finally caught up with body - would 1 day of total bed rest help or do more harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Help most likely: It is not possible to catch up sleep or store it up for future however if you are mentally and physically exhausted it would be a good idea to take a day of rest and relaxation.
